An Iraqi artist named Kalat for years was forced by Saddam Hussein to make hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad.

Kalat was so grateful that the Americans liberated his country, he melted three of the fallen Saddam heads and made a memorial statue dedicated to the American soldiers and their fallen comrades.

I called Lower Merion Police - they said they don't have any locations - these type of things change all the time. I told them I heard on Channel 6 that he was to be speaking in Ardmore. He kind of put me off, saying they don't give out any information of this kind and to listen to the news.

I called Republican Committee of Lower Merion and Narberth. No answer. D'OH, it's Saturday.

I called channel 6. No one to talk to on Saturday.

I'm getting frustrated !!

OK ... I listen to the 11:00 news on Channel 6

They said the President would be in Ardmore on Monday morning about real estate/home ownership

But they didn't say where in Ardmore

President Bush will be at the Main Line YMCA, 100 St. George's (he he) Road, Ardmore on Monday. He will speak on home ownership, then hold a news conference at the Y. Still searching for a time.
